New Robert Smith Unaffiliated Show Jumping League
| New Robert Smith Unaffiliated Show Jumping League Robert Smith is to launch his own series of weekly unaffiliated show jumping competitions from Saturday 1 & Sunday 2 May at his Warwickshire home at Brook Furlong Farm on the outskirts of Shrewley (nr Lowsonford). The international show jumper, who has been one of Britain's top riders for over 30 years and competed in the Athens Olympics in 2004, opens his equestrian facility to horses and ponies competing in the first ever Robert Smith Unaffiliated Show Jumping League. The League will culminate in a Championship Show in October with a fantastic prize of a saddle to the overall points winner with runner-up prizes too. |  |
"We have top quality facilities at Brook Furlong Farm and it seems ideal to offer other riders the opportunity to enjoy the venue at unaffiliated level with some great prizes up for grabs," says Robert. "We anticipate it being a competitive league where riders young and mature can have a lot of fun. Both horses and ponies are welcome."
Classes start at 10am on Saturday 1 May & Sunday 2 May, the first competition being open to horses and ponies starting at 60 cm rising up to 90 cm as the day progresses, with prizes presented to third place. League points also awarded to those who are placed in the top three. Each weekend, there will also be a points prize of a bridle for the highest scoring individual.
There will also be clear round jumping throughout the day starting at 50 cm. Shows are planned every weekend throughout the summer with the Championship event in October, with Wednesday evening 'fun jumping' too.
Spectators are welcome and schedules can be obtained by calling Jock Merriman on 07867 992701 or via Robert's website www.robertsmith.co.uk or emailing rachel@kingstonpr.co.uk
